Kessel) shrieks in defense, “I can't do it all! Satire Envisions Theatrical World Depicting a wildly distorted picture of the mad confusion, the agonizing sorrows, and the triumphant joys of the theater, the fall play cast of The Torchbear-ers presented their innocent audience with a satirical version of a theatrical production on November 13 and 14. Struggling with a bout of mono, Jan Harris, starring as Mrs. Pampinelli, returned to lead a group of elite amateurs in their bungling attempt to stage a play. According to director Mr. Fritz, Laughing at ourselves always makes us bigger people, a philosophy which he felt was realized in this production. Following the students' final presentation of the play, the cast members headed over to Karol Knutson's, where they joined together to celebrate their success. Weeping softly, Mrs. Ritter (Mary Anne Thomas) despairs at her husband's adverse reactions to the production. 15

Local Yokels Descend for Tomfoolery With the harvest moon shining brightly, country yokels once again descended from the hills for an evening of merrymaking and tomfoolery. Dancing to the lively beat of The Harvey at the annual Sadie Hawkins dance on November 7, the couples flung their cares to the wind. Many eloped to the Hitchin' Post where the short ceremony was performed by Rob Verkins. As passionate romances quickly faded, Divorcin' Dan Volna was there to provide the needed relief. Also on hand was Constable Barb Zander, who made many desperate attempts to control the unruly throng and sentenced countless victims to time in the stocks. While the band lakes a swallow, Sadie couples chortle amongst the corn. Unaware of the marrymaking about them, Sarah and Dave retreat to their own little world. Bumpkin Sowden and Joan Tawdry Cray practice a little gobbledegook. 14

Peaking from behind their brooms, the pom pon girls present another side of Frosty. Peering into the distance, nine little sophomores Frosties search for a mate to make it eight. Sno-Daze Warms Chilled Spirits Despite its late start in December, Pep Club rallied in the eleventh hour and once again came through to sponsor the second annual Sno-Daze at VHS during the week of January 26-31. In a week of intense rivalry between classes centering around the theme of Frosty, students competed for valuable points, all finally to be compiled to determine which grade's representatives would be crowned as Sno-Daze royalty. Among the new additions to Sno-Daze activities this year were the broomball tournament and the afternoon polka jamboree, which provided a few hours of relaxation from the competitive spirit evoked by the other events. Reigning as king and queen at the end of the eventfull week were sophomores Rick Lewko and Karie Thomas, while the class of 74 once again triumphed in the junior high as Steve Schmutzer and Kathy Osterberg were crowned prince and princess. Topping off the week's activities was the Sno Ball, at which couples danced to the music of The Medium. 16
